Doraemon was meant to be yellow in color until the tragic incident with a robot mouse which gnawed off it's ears. Doraemon proceed to cheer himself up by drinking accidentally drank a "sadness" potion which caused it to wept, the yellow color washed off and his voice changed due to the potion. As a result, he developed a morbid fear of mice despite being a robotic cat, because he was suffering musophobia.Bandai took this opportunity to milk the fans off their hard earned money by releasing a limited edition 2112 version for the 100 years countdown event.

| Out-of-box content. The mouse is no where to be seen and this figure came with eye plates in different expression compare to the normal release. |

| I am going to go visit my future self. |
 |
| Dokodemo door! |
 |
| Hiya me of the future who was living in the past! |
 |
| What are you, my past self doing here? This is going to cause disturbance in the space time continuum! |
 |
| Chill out! Have a Dorayaki from the future which was your past! |
 |
| Wah!!! A mouse!!! Wow! I have never seen a life specimen before! |
This limited edition Doraemon was similar with the normal release version with a slight difference in the form of different expression for the eye plates and also the exclusion of the mouse. The gold plating was impressive but not close to flawless. There were some finishing imperfection all over the figure. The joints on both arms were stiff/stuck which was most likely caused by the plating. That aside, this was overall a great figure and it deserved a place in your collection much like how Doraemon deserved a special place in our heart.
